Steak sauce madness

Steak, lovely lovely steak. Please tell me shes not gonna try and tell us how to cook steak. Nooooooo!

No I wouldn't dare but I have had a month off posting so having a lazy evening eating steak and sauteed potatoes gave me a twinge of guilt. Now I believe steak is best with a dollop of mustard and probably always will, but when I saw someone make this on the TV it just looked so out there it stuck in my head. The third and probably most inspiring reason is that 'He who is in the dog house', feels cheesy creamy sauce on steak is the stuff of nightmares. Enough said.

You cook your steak as normal, for me medium rare if sauce is involved. Once they are ready and resting add a large piece of blue cheese to the frying pan the steaks were in. I used gogonzola but any one would do, but if a very strong one I would cut the quantity slightly. As it starts to melt down add some double cream ( I didn't weigh but I reckon it was about a 150g of each). Now the sauce is nicely bubbling away add - brace yourself - 1/4 tsp of curry powder. I know, this is so wrong in so many ways. Stir and serve. Don't forget to season.

Time taken     10 mins
Effort     1/5
End result     3/5

3?????? Yeah strange as it may seem it wasn't as bizarre as I thought it might be and a nice change for a Tuesday night teatime. There was a little bit of me wanted to asked the sauce if it was related to coronation chicken, but on the whole - harvester eat you heart out. The major downside was 'He who begged me not to add curry powder' actually liked it. Curses, oh well will try torturing him with anchovies instead.

I didn't make this recipe with the intention of posting it so please excuse the fact that it appears I have thrown the food at the plate from a great distance in the following picture.




Laughing out loud posting that picture - what would Ramsey say
